When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 165

With Dorothea around, Mamie figured things would be a little easier.

Scott didn’t even hesitate. “Latham can’t make it.”

Maybe he thought he sounded too blunt, because he added, “Neither Latham nor Dorothea should be free. They’re both busy with the wedding next month.”

“I’ll have to check my own schedule, but I’m probably less busy than they are.”

Mamie wondered if a bureau chief could really be less busy than anyone. She kept her doubts to herself, and luckily, the drive only took about half an hour.

When they arrived, she got out of the car, bent slightly to wave at him, and said, “Scott, thank you for today. I’m heading in.”

Scott gave her a small nod. “Go ahead.”

He waited until Mamie disappeared from view before he drove away.

Nearby, Domingo narrowed his eyes at Scott’s license plate, pausing for a moment with his thermos in hand. He quickly made his way over to the guard. “Where’s the young lady who just signed in headed?”

“She’s going to 305, Domingo. She registered to see Raymond.”

Domingo immediately called Raymond.

Mamie found room 305, but the office was empty. Someone told her the tax officer had stepped out to the restroom.

She sat down, clutching her bag, and waited for a bit. Soon, Raymond rushed in, shaking water off his hands.

He held out his hand. “Haha, you’re the finance director from The Gresham, right?”

Mamie was caught off-guard by how friendly he was. Weren’t people saying he was hard to deal with?

She shook his hand lightly and smiled. “Hi, Raymond. You can just call me Mamie.”

“I heard from my colleagues about the audit flag issue, so I wanted to come by and explain the situation.”
